I dunno, it looks pretty dim to me! Obviously the g3 square is weak after h4 h3 but there is no way to easily exploit that and the downside is that black no longer has the g4 break at his disposal. Would you really prefer h4 to g5? If black feels the need he can always play h4 later, its not like white is able to stop it in any sensible way. cheers, Peter (ex) Chess Master > >Daniel >Chess Master
